MSI Pro B760M-E DDR5 Intel Motherboard

The MSI Pro B760M-E DDR5 is a business-oriented Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel B760 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket. It supports Intel Core 12th, 13th, and 14th generation processors, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron processors, making it a versatile platform for professional workstations and compact desktop builds alike. Memory support is handled by two DDR5 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 96 GB. The board accepts DDR5 speeds from 4800 MHz (JEDEC) up to 6400+ MHz via overclocking, and it is compatible with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for straightforward memory tuning. Dual-controller dual-channel mode is supported, and the board is limited to non-ECC, unbuffered memory. For graphics and storage, the MSI Pro B760M-E DDR5 offers one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot reinforced with Steel Armor for additional structural rigidity, plus one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. Storage options include a single M.2 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA modes for 2280, 2260, and 2242 form-factor drives, along with four SATA 6 Gbps ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations. Display outputs on the rear panel cover HDMI 1.4 (up to 4K at 30 Hz) and a legacy VGA port, both relying on the CPU’s integrated graphics where available. Network connectivity is provided by a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller, and audio is handled by a Realtek ALC897 codec delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio. USB ports total 12 across front and rear: 4x USB 2.0 at the rear, 4x USB 2.0 internal headers, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A at the rear, and 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A internal headers. The board also includes chassis intrusion detection, an RGB LED connector (JRGB), a TPM 2.0 pin header, and four EZ Debug LEDs for simplified troubleshooting. Passive chipset cooling and MSI’s Frozr AI Cooling technology, which automatically adjusts fan curves based on CPU and GPU temperature readings, handle thermal management. The PCB measures 200 mm × 236.16 mm (Micro-ATX) and supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit).
